Does that mean that I am a "spam blog"? Since the only purpose is to have a place for that picture (and I don't have time to actually post anything), there won't be anything on the blog. Maybe eventually I will get to put a writeup about him next to the picture. <a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7637/544/640/SabbaHillel.jpg" rel="nofollow"> Sabba Hillel</a> Actually, I created a blog just so that I could refer to my great-grandfathers picture.

I see now why my site gets so many Google hits. My site will come up higher in the Google rankings than any site with a six or less. And it tickles me no end that I have the exact page rank of a much "bigger" blogger with whom I have crossed swords in the past. But then, he's always been into the "My blog's bigger than your blog" mode. Doesn't seem to matter to Google. Never mind, found it. I see now why my site gets so many Google hits.

They're not catching the spamblogs, which I think are already called (ugh) splogs. Just about every one of the blogs I mentioned can be accessed as of this morning. Soccerdad, there's a Google page rank? Where? Shows you how tuned I am to the ranking systems. None of them is accurate, in any case. You need to balance the rankings of all of them in order to figure out where you are, and then remember that, um, more than 90% of Internet surfers don't read blogs. My traffic stats fluctuate widely depending on who you look at. I just take the middle ground. To be fair, Elisson, it’s Blogspot, too.

I'm still in the top 10 for Judaism but out of the top 20 for Israel. I do see the rationale behind deemphasizing blogrolls. I don't believe they're as important as they once were. I used to go to Instapundit all the time for the blogroll. But I've created my own. Blogrolls serve individual bloggers more than masses. You should be pleased though that your google page rank is an impressive 7. That really separate the men (I mean women) from the boys (like me who ranks 5).

My Gawd, here's a Blog-Tool that, from the standpoint of Usefulness, is a mere shadow of its former self. I'd love to get hold of these Spam-Schmucks and Zarqawi their sorry asses.

Not even kibitzers?
